I Hate To Say It But Kobe Needs To Hang It Up

[gauchojake]

Torn rotator cuff. 3rd major injury in 3 years. It's hard to see him go out like this, but it's been a hell of a career. Join the front office and learn the business. It's time.

Bird

Yea but the dumb Buss kids want to give him a third of the teams salary cap space. He may as well sit on the bench and cash their checks.

Gaucher, kobe can play one handed and be in wheelchair and still best player on that rec squad

At least 3 years too late

He definitely needs to move on. His good days are behind him. Reminds me if Iverson. I'll take 21shots and score 21 points and be the top scorer. Not very efficient anymore.

agreed, but what's the point? Keep rehabbing only to blow out an ACL or break a hip?

[Smoke]

Gaucher not cool

[jjgold]

He just signed for money he knew he was washed up and the Lakers made a massive mistake

Bird was forced out via back issues...Jordan averaged 20 and 6 at 40 years of age....and Malone was pretty good as well toward the end...none of the players you mentioned looked half as foolish at the end of their careers as Kobe does now shooting below 40 percent from the field...I would respectfully ask that you please refrain from making such asinine statements in the future about all time greats such as those....

Iverson despite his bad attitude, selfishness and wreckless abandon never shot 37 percent from the field...

he got more than that for sitting on his ass and not lifting a finger last season

[Chi_archie]

Bird was forced out via back issues...

in his last truncated season over 45 games he averaged 20.2 points 9.6 boards and 6.8 assists

[gauchojake]

Gaucher not cool

smokey this hurts me more than it hurts him

[King Mayan]

Blasphemy gaucho. Blasphemy!!

[TwoWays]

I already miss him yelling at that scrub Lin on court. Those were the days

[gauchojake]

[jjgold]

He will be back next year like an idiot

[gauchojake]

He will be back next year like an idiot

One might say he's the jjgold of the NBA

overpaid
puts up a lot of volume but not quality
should have hung it up a few years ago

[Menses]

Laker fans said Gasol was washed up...and Kobe was carrying him...now Pau is an ALL-STAR starter..and Kobe is on his way to a geriatric home.....Priceless....

[Menses]

The Highlight of Kobe's season thus far is...

[gauchojake]

Tell the truth Menses...you have a google alert set anytime someone on SBR mentions Kobe.

jordan averaged 20 a game. more ppg than 95% of shooting guards in the nba. bird killed it too. you have no clue what you're saying.

Bryant has been missing a lot of shots he normally makes. I don't know why, but it's premature to say he's done, when he just had a triple double, or close to it, the other day.

Can wesley mathews get a triple double?

no, matthews will never get a triple double in his life.

should he retire?
